This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

Excellent. Thanks for the links.
In exchange for the carbohydrates, proteins and fats fill the void. Protein is fairly straight forward, but the various forms of fats are a bit more complicated.
If you stick with natural fats only, there is no complication.
Please add me to your ping list.
Atkins failed? I haven’t noticed that.
Agreed, but the taste contrast to animal fats is hard to ignore.
That said, I now cook my morning egg in olive oil instead of butter. Tastes great. And I understand the molecular structure of olive oil holds up well when heated.
Curious why you wrote “Failure of the Atkins diet” in the introduction...I watched this whole video and the last two minutes concluded that the Atkins diet is the way to lose weight. (without naming it of course)
“Curious why you wrote “Failure of the Atkins diet†in the introduction...”
I didn’t. That is the title used by Dr. Jason Fung for the video he posted on YouTube. He also used the phrase in the later parts of his videos.
Weird...Maybe I need to listen to more sections of the presentations. My Atkins diet was very successful, but ultimately I failed due to carb cravings and I blamed regaining the weight on not being on the Atkins diet. Perhaps he has an answer for this. Thanks for the reply.
I love olive oil of lots of stuff but cooking eggs is not one. I’ll stick with butter or bacon fat, thank you very much. :-)
Ping please
Well, I watched all the videos and he never trashed the Atkins diet. In fact, his website pushes what he calls LCHF (low carb high fat). The thing I was not expecting was the advocacy for fasting. I always heard fasting eats your muscles away and many other things that turn out not to be true. I am very intrigued.
I don’t like to watch videos; I prefer reading info. I am suspecting this is a pro-low carb diet? The good gut bacteria would protest. They need starchy carbs and lots of them. Tubers and beans and even healthful unadulterated grains are their best friends. We need to feed them resistant starch. Our immune system and even our moods and hormones depend on it. Paleo was a great idea but did not go far enough. There are no bad macronutrients, even carbs.
What is bad is adulterated, unhealthy food: unhealthy animals, enriched foods, pesticides, flavorings, etc.
Intermittent fasting, really just not eating between meals, is good. But fasting is bad because it can decimate the good population you might have in your gut.
Paleo is not good alone because it discourages good carbs and it doesn’t take into account all we have learned about how essential to our health our gut population is.
We have so much more to learn. The most important thing is to eat clean, natural foods. Know every ingredient. Sure, in our faced paced life, you will sometimes eat junk, but if the majority of your diet is food from healthy animals and plants, you’re good. Each meal needs a healthy protein source (animal is better) and healthy fat. But, especially if you are poor, the protein and fat parts can be small and the bulk of the meal can be a healthy carb like a tuber or a grain or rice.
